FearTheBeard. · 2011-11-04 15:44:20

I know there are like 3 threads a day asking who threw the first triple. But i was wondering who threw the first double cork waaaaayyyy back when. +k for good/legitimate responses. or for ones that make me laugh.

in terms of double corks as we know them now, mike wilson's wilson flip was pretty much a dub cork 10 but was a little ahead of its time. here's the one in TBC (2005) but i thiink i saw him do one before that. maybe not

6:02

people did double flips and stuff like venus fly traps way before that, but in terms of doubles becoming cool again, the wilson flip was first but didnt really catch on, then a bit later jon learned the kangaroo flip and it went from there

then Wilson started throwing the Wilson flip at the 2004 US open, then Jon started throwing Kangs in '07ish and doubles blew up.

yeah, the risky flip was a d7 to backflip, so super similar to double cork 10. that was back around 2000 though and werent part of the recent trendiness of doubles, which is why i lumped it together with venus fly traps etc. but yeah it's pretty much a double cork 10

Risky flip is a glorified backfull-back. Still a gnarly trick but definitely borrowed from aerials. Wilson flip was really flippy. I think PK hunder was the first to get a dub-wobble type spin.

that's kinda more like a double flip, but it could maybe go either way. I would consider the whiskey flip to be the first true 'double cork'. And even it have quite a bit of flip in it.

I find it funny that most kids on this site still don't know the difference between a dub cork and a dub flip

one of the Schrab brothers did a double misty 1440 off the Whistler wind lip summer of 2001.

it's in the credits of Josh Berman's first Level 1 Movie: Balance.

check it.

and during the US Open 2001, the Schrab brothers were throwing double frontflips to switch, and switch flares to frontflips.

but they got no love 'cause they were considered uncool. but they skills and balls. for sure.

Basically no one really gives a shit who threw the first DOUBLE cork. It hasn't been in the record books, nor will it be. That is why there is no recorded "First DOUBLE cork?!"

First double cork I saw, or most people saw, was MW at the US open in 04... People were awestruck... nobody can say if it was the first, but if you ask MIke, or almost anyone around the industry at the time, it was. Jon was much more involved in media at the time (mike was 17) and he popularized it... However, it's hard to say. Not talked to everyone involved with it, but I do know that Mike worked hard with that trick, well before anyone else was at the time...

FTW. way ahead of it's time. too corked all the way around to honestly be considered a late backie, at least today.

I'd say the double michalchuck is up there with the first double corks. Sometime around 98 or 99.

Depends on your definition of cork. If a cork is off axis without being inverted, then PK had the first double cork. Risky flips and Wilson flips were very inverted.

That said, nobody throws off-axis but not inverted dub flips anymore.
